Summary
--
Faith doesn’t happen on its own. It’s a byproduct of time spent experiencing the faithfulness of our God. It’s a gift given to us by the Giver of good gifts, himself.
It was a supernatural faith that allowed Paul to sing even while in chains. It was supernatural faith that allowed Peter to proclaim the gospel, even unto death. And it’s supernatural faith that will carry you to and through the greatest gospel opportunities in front of you.
We pray our printed devotionals, Faith and Trust, help people like you experience the life changing reality that faith and trust have on your everyday life.
With Faith you’ll:
- Discover a Biblical framework for living faithfully
- Study powerful moments of God’s faithfulness in scripture
- Tear down personal strongholds in your life where you struggle with faith
- Develop a lifestyle of faith, that weathers the storms of life
And every dollar you give today goes to help more people like you experience the nearness and love of our God.
Everything changes when we learn to trust and become filled with faith in our good, good God. Get your copy at supportfirst15.org!

| 0:00.0 | As we near the end of our week on simple Christianity, we look today at the simple truth of our freedom in Christ. |
| 0:11.0 | Our sin and bondage often feels like a convoluted web that entangles us. |
| 0:17.0 | And Satan would like nothing more than to keep us foggy and confused about the freedom and righteousness bought for us through the precious blood of Jesus. |
| 0:26.5 | Today I'm praying that chains are broken in God's presence. |
| 0:31.1 | When we gain clarity and deep understanding of the freedom afforded to us as children of God, |
| 0:37.4 | may we adopt the simple truth of our freedom and truly be set free. |
| 0:42.4 | Welcome to the first 17th podcast. |
| 1:00.0 | Our verse for today comes from 2 Corinthians 317. Scripture says, |
| 1:02.0 | Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. |
| 1:08.0 | Freedom from sin is not something we pay for with our own blood, sweat, and tears. |
| 1:14.6 | It's not bought by any measure of human strength or will, but by the precious and powerful |
| 1:20.6 | blood of Jesus Christ. |
| 1:22.6 | Scripture tells clearly of the pervasive and liberating effects of Jesus' death for all those |
| 1:29.6 | who come to believe in Him and claim Him as Lord. May we be children freed from the bonds of |
| 1:35.7 | slavery Christ died to set us free from. Romans 8 1 through 4 says, there is therefore now no |
| 1:43.2 | condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. |
| 1:47.0 | For the law of the Spirit of Life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. |
| 1:54.0 | For God has done what the law weakened by the flesh could not do. |
| 1:58.0 | By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned |
| 2:03.3 | sin in the flesh in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, |
| 2:09.4 | who walked not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit. With the filling of the |
